Pirogov's Fascia

Pirogov's fascia is a fascia-like structure that is located near the mammary gland on the surface of the chest. They are the result of connective tissue and surround the mammary gland, creating a natural barrier between the breasts and the abdominal cavity.

Pirogov's fascia is a thin wall between the anterior surface of the body and the abdominal wall. It covers the organs of the abdomen and forms a kind of case for them: the abdominal press, large intestine, bladder, ovaries in women, spermatic cords and penis in men. Due to the division of fascia and the development of intermediate areas between them, fascial-cellular areas are formed where the muscles are not covered by fascia. These areas include (front/back): 1. Sternocleidomastoid zone (cervical and lumbar). 2. Interthoracic zone and triangles of the lateral border of the sternoclavicular lateral (humeral and epigastric). 3. Intercostal zones of the rib bone, lateral surfaces of the iliac bones, areas of bloodletting, hollow organs of the abdominal wall. Pirogov fascia (in women) and inguinal fascia in urology and gynecology, obstetrics, oncology.
